[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 373919, member: 14443"] It does matter at times to know what batch it was produced in. Its said the 105vr that was made in japan is better built than the one from china, for instance. Not sure though. I have the chinese one. Its also good to verify if the lens was a specific make. For instance the 135dc had a d and non d. So many would even know because not many would notice the d marking. The serial is a good reference for that. Also if the person selling the lens isnt knowledgeable about the lens (like on ebay), u could verify which it is by the serial. [/QUOTE]
